Abstract
The article is devoted to the impact of lighting and the following later media on the formation of urban space images. The development of electricity-dependent technologies allows to change the urban environment over time, create light performances with thoughtful special effects that combine the experiences of various arts, such as theater or cinema, contributing to the birth of public performance spaces. The author considers the repertoire of the media use for various purposes: from the simplest information functions to control of society, also highlighting the development of art forms. Of greatest interest to the researcher is something new that can be created through the use of media platforms of various types. The task of defragmentation, the reunion of disparate social groups in the city space by means of art seems to be relevant. It is the artist, according to the author, who is able to fill media communications with humanistic content in the language of artistic images and to unite urban spaces into integral communities.
